  • Maximus - edit file description

    From AKAcastor@21:1/162 to Roon on Monday, April 15, 2024 13:51:16
    Hi Roon, addressing this to you as I know you're a Maximus sysop - do you know a way to edit file descriptions from the files menu in Maximus? I've always just edited FILES.BBS directly but am curious if I'm missing a better way.

    I imagine there's already some MEX scripts to do this kind of thing (if not then there soon will be), but I haven't searched or tried any yet.
